The Tamesis
This makes the show sound like fun, but in reality, it eliminates any conflict or tension, with even the poorly assembled Christmas crackers treated as symbols of “the perfect imperfections that come from human connection,” as one guest star, restaurateur Will Guidara Guidara, to which Markle almost gaped, “Yes!” I loved every second of these revelations: when she said, “Traditions have to have a beginning,” or “A tree is part of my memory and love of the holidays.” The whole thing had a pleasant, narcotic effect, like Bowie in The Row’s “Natural” hue Cashmere sweaters, too—that’s just what Markle did, teaching us how to assemble a crude garland (i.e., arranging baby broccoli into a circle on a plate).
